The logic behind the layout and design
This fast growing company needed a larger space to host their growing team, that also offered closed or private meeting spaces, and more social lounges and canteen areas for employees to mingle. The space they found already had a very industrial feel, with plenty of natural light, but no dry-walls or rooms. We did a layout that incoporated 2 single offices, a meeting room, boardroom, reception, kitchen with lunch tables and an informal lounge. Plants were in important consideration right from the start, which we used together with storage units to also divide teams
The reception are receives the least amount of natural light, so we brought in loads of greenery and lighting to create welcoming atmosphere with a small lounge and direct access to the boardroom. The original entrance to the space was moved to give visitors easier access. The signage will go up and appear to float infront of the faux foliage.
We used patterned fabric along with red and blue fabrics to incorporate their corporate colours into the space. They will be getting desk top screens/partitions with these same colours that will also help to dampen some of the echo sounds in the space. Power sets on the desks provides plug-and-play functionality to each workstation.
We also considered the positioning of fututre workstations to make sure that the available space will serve the business for the next 3-4 years.
